Why Did the Magi Bring Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh?

The three gifts had a spiritual meaning: gold as a symbol of kingship on earth, frankincense (an incense) as a symbol of deity, and myrrh (an embalming oil) as a symbol of death. This dates back to Origen in Contra Celsum: "gold, as to a king; myrrh, as to one who was mortal; and incense, as to a God."

“By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.”Hebrews‬ ‭8:13‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“So the law was put in charge of us until Christ came. He came so that we might be made right with God by believing in Christ. But now faith in Christ has come. So the law is no longer in charge of us.”

““If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over.”Matthew‬ ‭18:15‬
